My little trans community is falling apart over stupid shit and I have things to do and my brain will not let me do the things while my community is falling apart but there is nothing I can do to fix it.

On the one hand, I wish I could bottle how happy my post-transition life is and just let other people experience my joy, because I can't imagine someone opposing trans rights if they understood. On the other hand, "My life is so much better now that I'm surrounded by queer kinky furries" is […]

Good article about how the same hate group facilitates child abuse and works with politicians. But this quote really drives the key point we need the general public to understand: "“It kept getting worse,” he said. “I feel if your average teenage boy was being forced to attend bra fittings as a […]

What I'd like to see is advocacy for something really simple - you get to choose your puberty. And if you disagree with that, show me the data that shows that doesn't pass cost/benefit with flying colors. Even if you stretch the likelihood of regret-detransition as high as you can. What it […]

I'm skeptical of the left's tendency to make everything too connected. But it's maddening how much reactionism stems directly and indirectly from petroleum dependence.

“Love the sinner, hate the sin” There is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that you love the alleged “sinner” Or if that counts, then love is greatly overrated. It’s not enough to stop abuse.

#lasvegas #rtc security at SSTT tonight decided they had to play potty police. Four of them surrounded me and told me there was a "gender issue" with me waiting for the women's restroom, and didn't leave me alone until I showed my ID. Y'all, I *am* #trans but I also pass pretty damn well, and I […]

Hemingway is confused, but polite. #calmingcatto #CatsOfMastodon #cats

I have never felt less patriotic on the 4th of July. America's boasted liberty continues to be unholy license, its national greatness swelling vanity.

Bangkok? Chongqing? Kuala Lumpur? ... Or #vegas in a thunderstorm? #transit #transitphotos #monorail #lasvegas

If anyone tries to suggest that McBride is simply doing what she has to, note that Zephyr also exists. Sure, McBride represents a more conservative electorate, but Zephyr works in a more conservative body. And she has had more success in fighting back against transphobic legislation, in a more […]

Seeing how much LV Metro had to preemptively corral and clamp down on people holding signs and yelling at buildings yesterday tells me two things: the fash scared, and they're dangerous.

Welcoming a new #calmingcatto to the account! Meet Hemingway.

Insisting that everyone should have a clear, recognizable and unchangeable gender only makes sense if you want to treat people of different genders differently. Which you clearly shouldn't.

Has anyone in the legislative branch developed a plan for what to do when/if the executive branch finally, formally tells the judicial branch to get bent? Congress? Anyone in there with a plan? A thought? A response other than futile spluttering?

The slope isn't slippery; the frog isn't gradually getting boiled. Within its first hundred days the Trump administration has openly asserted the right/ power to seize and imprison anyone— including political dissidents, including citizens— and deprive them of any legal recourse at all. 5/

The #unlv student health center is this huge series of windowless corridors surrounded by exam rooms and it is a #liminalspace if ever I saw one

I just presented at an academic conference as myself for the first time, absolutely nailed the talk, did some networking *in Spanish*, heard my professor drunkenly squee about working with me, and took 23 selfies in like 8 hours! Good damn day.

Wait a second... Our new overlords think puberty blockers are bad... but RFK hired a quack doctor who uses puberty blockers to treat autism. MAKE UP YOUR MINDS! https://arstechnica.com/health/2025/03/rfk-jr-hires-anti-vaccine-advocate-to-study-debunked-vaccine-autism-link/

It's a beautiful day, I'm out in a cute dress, and these new shelters are under construction downtown! #transit #rtctransit #lasvegas

But if they’re not arrested at the border or disappeared during their stay, foreign tourists can have a great time visiting the U.S.

Wow, I'm a homeowner. Emphasis on the *meow*.

Finally. A major media outlet has finally reported on Trump’s total travel ban for transgender visa applicants seeking the United States. I had to scream for two days to get someone else to report on it. It is NOT just for athletes. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

A steep enough disdain for a system makes it easy to miss just how badly it’s departing from its prior norms. Which isn’t a reason to not take such a dim view but to be mindful of your blind spots. Yes, the US federal government has always been evil. But it can be varying degrees of less-bad or […]

After the election, I resolved to be more present in my community. Since then, I've tripped headfirst into a lovely community of fellow #trans people, and I have spent much of my time surrounded by pure distilled trans joy. I cannot recommend it highly enough. If you are despairing in these […]

HEY FUCKER, HOW'S THAT GOVERNMENT EFFICIENCY GOING?

I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe. She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today. RIP Elisa.

@davidho It’s so easy to miss an email. A simple first step is to simply pretend you didn’t see it. They are counting on lots of people being scared and hustling to comply. This *is* the “comply in advance” we keep talking about. Do not do it. Make it harder for them than that. This is a low […]

Sure do love how #vegas taxpayers are now on the hook for a quarter billion dollars after our last mayor decided to bully a developer on behalf of her rich friends. I guess we didn't need parks! […]

i wonder what the next wedge issue will be once they've finally milked anti-#trans policy as far is it'll go

Breaking news: State attorneys general from California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Nevada, Vermont, and Wisconsin advise Trump's EO banning trans care is unlawful, hospitals should provide care. Big counter salvo!

Now Bridgy Fed @bsky.brid.gy lets you block people who are on the other network but aren't bridged with the block command. Big deal because it's one reason some understandably didn't create bridges for their accounts.

Running into a wall with my #grapheneos journey. Pretty much everything else I can do on my phone, it'll do, but Google Pay is apparently impossible, and I *really* like being able to pay for stuff with my phone. I forget my wallet all the time. So do I a) go back to standard Android, b) deal […]

I'm not doing great. It feels so absurd to be getting groceries, paying the bills, reading for class when my government is on a crusade to immiserate me and mine. #trans

An independent Pacifica (California/Oregon/Washington/Hawaii) could form a free trade zone with Canada and Mexico. https://calexitnow.org/

Can somebody who understands Mastodon better than me explain to me why I can no longer see the posts from this account that I follow? I kinda need Erin in my feed.

2/2 Third, if you know or know of trans people in financial need, help them as you can. Lots of trans people face financial hardship because employers won't hire them, they were kicked out of the parents house and didn't get to go to college, or even to finish high school in some cases. This […]

1/2 I just got asked how cis people can help trans people right now. First, of course, write your legislators and demand they take action to protect trans people. Second, support groups like the ACLU that are fighting court battles against discrimination. #trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq

¿Qué importa si Musk estaba literalmente pensando en Hitler cuando hizo ese gesto? Lo que importa es que es un líder de un gobierno que aboga por jerarquías claras, inspiradas por movimientos fascistas: nativos sobre no nativos (Musk no vio esta venir, a pesar de que sea la principal), blancos […]

The United States government now considers me a man as a matter of policy. This does not make me a man, it just makes me an enemy of the state. (As if I wasn't already.) #trans #fucktrump

Hey @tjw did I read that you had a BlueSky account set up that was basically just a private bridge to Mastodon, but that didn't make people use BridgyFed? I would love to just be able to say "follow me at [email protected]" and it Just Works for the normies.
